I was running on the elliptical and the CBS early show's news headline (at least I think that's what it's called) caught my eye. It said, "Are sweatpants taking over?" or something of the equivalent, which made me laugh. The cameraman panned to one of the CBS column writers and she started talking about how sweatpants have become a prominent part of American life. After the brief introduction she then proceeded to show picture after picture of celebrities walking casually in their sweatpants. What was funny wasn't the fact that the whole fifteen minutes were about sweatpants; what intrigued me was the enormity of her anger as she talked about how wearing sweatpants with Uggs or Crocs together was a "no no" (totally agree with this; in fact, Uggs and Crocs are "no no's" regardless of what you wear in conjunction). She went on ranting and raving about how our society has become fat and lazy (not her exact words, but put bluntly..) and how she doesn't even own a pair of sweatpants (it's not possible to not own a pair of sweatpants... come on now lady, be honest with us). Then, to top it all off she gave fashion tips. Yes, tips about what to wear with sweatpants. Some suggestions were "a cute blazer" with high heels and a high waisted belt. Seriously? If I'm going to go out in sweatpants it means that I feel like crap; hence, I will complement that by looking like crap. I would wear a matching baggy sweatshirt, my old tennis shoes, and my hair will probably be up (or I might leave it down and let it eat my face, whatever I happen to feel like that day). I reserve the right to look like a homeless on bad days (besides, that's how I get the guys).
Take care on this dark and dreary day. Watch where you step and don't walk around flying kites with a key attached because that would be a pathetic way to off yourself.
take pictures & use umbrellas <3
